When I had to pass my driver’s test and parallel park, my driving instructor put some sneaky pieces of tape on his passenger side window frame and mirror. “When you get to tape 1, turn the wheel this way. When you get to tape 2, turn the wheel that way.” And voilà, perfect parking job. (I used his car for the test)

Omg this was me. It was humiliating. I agree with the negative visualization suggestion but I see the worst possible outcome then see myself in the other side of it. I DK if that makes sense...

I spent some 20 years without a driver’s license after my CA license expired because WA has parallel parking on the driver’s test and I CAN. NOT. parallel park. (Seriously, I actually bumped into an ex-boyfriend who tried to teach me how in college.) But my mom had a stroke in the last few years, and while we lucked…

It takes a while to cultivate this as a habit, but I do a lot of negative visualization. I think of the worst possible outcome and work my way backwards identifying causal factors that I can or can’t control. I make sure I do control whatever I can, plan what I could do if something goes wrong, and spend the rest of…

Smmer of knowledge is an excellent idea. You could add in a fact of the day feature where you take it in turns to discover, research and share something interesting.

Hey everybody! The Bartender and I have decided that this is going to be our summer of knowledge, so we are going to learn how to play three dimensional chess, backgammon, and the card game Pitch. I love games and there’s a bunch of pools where The Bartender lives, so we’re going to hang out in the sun and now we have…

Like anything else, schedule water drinking into your day if you aren’t remembering to do it on your own often enough. Begin each day by drinking 16-32 oz of water, since we all wake up dehydrated. You'll find that you're much more alert and energized when your body is properly hydrated. Then drink 16 oz before each…

Shelter Cat Update!

Hey all, update on my tall girl/ shirt guy situation from last week:

Meanwhile Littlefinger got to have a different accent minute to minute and it was fine?

New Zealand. See a sheepshearing demo and attend a Maori dinner in Rotorua. Fly to Christchurch and rent a campervan. Places to see: Dunedin (go to the albatross sanctuary on the Otago peninsula and get directions from the staff to a private beach, where you can watch the yellow-eyed penguins come in from the sea at…

My favorite thing about this study is the fictional math concepts they used. I absolutely want to go to a party and test ‘em out on the white men. 

I like it when it is served as squash. Do NOT try to make it turn into spaghetti. It tastes, looks, and feels absolutely nothing like spaghetti. All that substitution thing does is remind you you’re not actually eating spaghetti. On its own merits, as a squash, it’s delightful.

I cannot deny that Drew Barrimoor has interviews given, there is many journalism about it. This is naturally reflected in the conversation which occurred in conjunction with journalism that exists in the society. This is especially true since the interview can not prove that all shared reality are same or even…

At first I was a little miffed half-way through the show at how it was marketed. The trailers and first few episodes promised me a sad but inventive trip down Sunshine for the Spotless Road and what I got was that but with a comedy turn from Justin Theroux that puts anything else I’ve seen this year to shame. but…

there was a specific reference for the $1

A few years ago, the Kirov Ballet was on tour, so when they came to LA, though I’m not really into classical ballet, this is supposedly the best of the best, so we went. First of all: packed house (in the Chandler which is the enormous home of LA Opera; ~3200 seats). The entire row behind us was Russian mafia types…

in a not-so-distant future where people can rent friends and pay for subway rides and dinner by listening to a person read ads out loud.

everyone missed so many important details. the book she pulls from the trash, the cars first episode vs the last episode, the name snori in the first episode, the names on the psych ward sign in sheet, nothing is what it seems

You seem to have missed the huge detail that Nan’s future grandson is the guy who crashed into Annie’s car (it also explains his middle name - she said it is going to be ‘Fuck you Nan’ i.e. F.U.N.)
